Can waters be white ?

So I was running the bath and then went to the toilet and did a wee. Went into the bathroom, washed my hands, turned the tap off and felt like I needed a number 2...

Sat on the toilet for a little while then felt like I was weeing, though I’d been 5 minutes before... When I looked at the water it was whiteish... (It was clear beforehand as I’d just flushed it but I know I definitely had a wee beforehand... hence my confusion)

Then after flushing the toilet and washing my hands I felt like I was leaking, but there was nothing... I turned the cold tap on as the bath was too hot, got undressed ready to get in and as it cooled I started leaking little drips on to the bathmat...

I tried smelling the mat though it smells damp to me (My brothers have had showers this morning and won’t hang it up to dry so we have to regularly wash it or use towels in between washes).

I don’t think my bladder was leaking where I’d not long been but I know it’s still a possibility 🤔 Could it have been my waters or would my bladder have suddenly filled up in the space of five minutes and then started leaking afterwards ? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Waters are generally clear or slightly tinged with yellow or blood from plug ...

Waters are generally clear or slightly tinged with yellow or blood from plug sounds like runny discharge! X

Thank you, I was confused as I never go so often 🤔🤷🏼‍♀️

I started loosing my plug 3 weeks ago and have had a lot of discharge since some being brown, yellow and other bits clear... discharge is suddenly slowing down making me think there’s not much left or it’s all out now 🤔🤷🏼‍♀️😂

Would you say keep an eye on it just Incase ? Or do you think I’ll be okay ? 😂 I don’t want to seem paranoid aha! xx

Pop a pad on and keep and eye If it does fill a pad call the maternity unit! Babies make us so paranoid don’t they? 🙈 xx

Okay thank you 😂 and yeah they really do... been overly paranoid since 37weeks...

Ended up down the hospital 3 times and they rudely dismissed me several times without explaining anything...

Tuesday - Reduced movements
The baby’s heart rate jumped from 186 to 140 within seconds. They said he was moving but I couldn’t feel him... His heart rate wasn’t even stable when they ripped the machine off of me and told me to leave.

Thursday - Growth Scan
Apparently his growth was becoming static so they got me to have a growth scan. He measured 7lbs 10oz. They thought I was diabetic told me to fast and sent me home to return the next morning...

Friday - Bloods (Turned 38weeks)
So I didn’t react well at all to them taking my bloods and they went wrong in one arm... Petrified of needles which probably didn’t help much... Was told I’d hear back from DAU by the next day...

Saturday - (Phone Call)
I rung them an hour before they closed enquiring about my results as I hadn’t heard anything. They told me they’d ring me back. 15 minutes before closing I got a call “Oh no everything’s came back normal don’t worry”

So they’re no longer concerned about his growth even though it was clearly something to worry about for them to get me tested the next day... 😑

Been worried ever since... had signs of labour coming since the 1st... that really doesn’t help ease my nerves either... Just makes me more concerned 😬 as nothing has happened... According to the internet all I’m missing sign wise is waters and contractions... Explains why I’m questioning about waters a bit more I guess 😂
